Hey all.
I had this lying on my harddrive, it’s a snow particle effect system. The particles are re-used and recycled and not disposed and recreated so you can have a lot of snow on the screen without any lag.
I tried to record a video but the screen capture software I have just didn’t do it justice.
You can download it via my site infuseDreams below:

Great idea Danny!
This really is the “proper” approach to particles and similar recycled display objects on mobile devices… generate the amount you might need in advance and then recycle/reposition them on the screen. A lot of new users don’t realize the performance penalty of creating new objects on the canvas especially on-the-fly during Runtime. I learned the hard way (trial and error) and wish that somebody would have pointed it out earlier. Danny is doing so here.
